Hi,
Does someone know how to convert a relocatable ELF file into an executable
ELF file?
Any help will be appreciated
Thank you

If you wish to do this for a BDM (to extract the sym info) and you BDM
barfs on relocatable ELF (for unknown reason) you could just use spatch to
modify the attribute in the ELF header. Take a look at the elf.h file and
the ELF spec to find the right position. It should be the e_type in the
header, and is should be set to ET_REL for relocatable or ET_EXEC for
executable.
Of course this assumes the BDM only cares about the sym info in the file.
